Which data center bridging power solution is best for your business?
Our bridging power solutions encompass a variety of technologies, project configurations and services tailored to your needs, including load on demand, genset loading with battery storage, low emissions power generation technology, generation with alternative fuels, and hybrid power plants.
- Bridging power supply and electrical distribution packages including diesel generators, gas generators, and dual-fuel options. With temporary generators from 30 kVA to 2,100 kVA, we deliver the data center power supply your operations need, even where grid capacity is limited or a grid connection has been delayed.
- Hybrid power plant – With Aggreko’s on-site gas-powered system, you get reliable, clean, and low-cost energy on demand. Designed to be a source of continuous power, this solution can be configured with battery storage, connection to the grid, or integration with other renewable sources, and with the option to leverage virtual pipelines to displace other more carbon-intensive and expensive liquid fuels.
- Low emissions power generation technology – With the latest EPA-compliant Tier 4 Final engine technology, able to also run on alternative fuels such as HVO, this power generation alternative provides constant, reliable, and efficient power, while reducing carbon emissions. Coupled with a load on demand system configuration, the generators can automatically power up or down according to demand on site, leading to more cost savings, maximized efficiencies, and reduced emissions.
- Genset loading with battery storage – By using battery storage as the spinning reserve, systems can handle the same load, but with fewer generators. For Data Centers, this means that battery storage helps to compensate for any disruptions to supply or frequency drops, leading to improved reliability, carbon emissions reduction, significant fuel savings, and enhanced efficiency across all generators that make up the on-site system.
How we can bridge power for data centers with reliable and sustainable solutions
Natural gas generator power plant + grid connection
Build a temporary power plant onsite using the latest in gas generator technology from 2 MW to 20 MW, with optional heat recovery to generate heating for the site.
Natural gas generators + Aggreko battery storage + grid connection
Combine renewable energy sources with a temporary gas generator power plant with battery storage from 1-2 MW blocks.

FAQs about Aggreko’s data center bridging power supply
Bridging power is designed to bridge the gap–between your grid connection and construction schedule, or between grid capacity and rising demand. Temporary generators can help ensure power is consistently available, while also increasing your flexibility with ways to scale up to meet demand or reduce your fuel costs and emissions.
Data centers consume a huge amount of electricity. As a result, they’re exposed to price volatility and even a small increase can ripple into major expenses. With bridging power, you can move some or all of your power supply off-grid, giving you more control over how you generate power and the associated costs.
